Often dubbed theJimi Hendrixof the Bosphorus,Erkin Koraywas a trailblazer of Anatolian psych - a mind-bending fusion of traditional Turkish music and electrified Western rock.
After experimenting with beat and pop in the ’60s,Korayfully embraced the underground, eventually releasing his game-changing self-titled debut in 1973. A landmark release, it seamlessly weaves fuzzed-out guitar work, Anatolian folk melodies, R&B grooves, and raw psychedelia into something entirely unique. A cornerstone of Turkey’s countercultural sound.
